[Healeys] SU carb reamer needed

[Bob Spidell]

I don't have a reamer, but many moons ago I sent HD8 carb bodies to 
Apple Hydraulics for installation of new bushes--std. size IIRC--and 
throttle shafts (I think the bushes were undersize then reamed, but not 
sure).  Was happy with result, service and turnaround time (NFI--but if 
Apple wants to give me a kickback I'll take it).  Don't know if WW Auto 
(Peter Caldwell) does this, but they'd be a good bet if they do, too.

If you go oversize, will the shafts still fit the other hardware 
(linkages, etc.)?
